'Runt' is a 2020 American thriller film directed by William Coakley from a screenplay by Coakley, Armand Constantine, and Christian van Gregg. It stars Cameron Boyce in his final film role, alongside Nicole Elizabeth Berger, Aramis Knight, Jason Patric, Cyrus Arnold, Tichina Arnold, and Aydin Etehadi.

Premise



'Runt' follows the life of Cal (Boyce), a teenage boy who experiences troubling incidents that make him a cold and callous person. Cal is interested in Gabriella (Hildebrand) but is being bullied by her boyfriend, Vic (Knight), and his group of friends. The character devolves into pain, self-destruction, and abuse after being subjected to bullying by his peers in high school. The film also shows the lack of adult intervention which causes Cal to grow up into an individual lacking a moral compass.
